Stella LOVES her bee mobile, as displayed in this video (in spite of the fact that she lets out a little cry at the end. I think she was mad because she thought it was stopping). When it’s on, she stares at it intently. The only problem is that it requires someone with full control [...]
We took the baby on her first beach vacation last week to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. My parents rented a fabulous oceanfront penthouse condo and generously invited their kids, significant others and grandkids to come along on vacation with them.
Some highlights from the trip: Bramanda temporarily renouncing their vegetarian ways in order to [...]
Stella turned one month old yesterday. We celebrated by going to dim sum at Mark’s Duck House today–it was our first trip to a restaurant as a family. Stella was an angel and slept the whole time in her car seat. We even made a trip to Target after lunch. It was a very successful [...]
I’ve always considered myself to have child-bearing hips. I’m built to have babies. My uneventful pregnancy confirmed this fact for me—my body just knows what to do. So I thought.
In my head, I imagined that my water would break on my exact due date, and I would go to the hospital when the contractions were [...]
Stella is three weeks old today–my oh my how the time flies. In just one week, she’ll be a month old! Before I know it, she’ll be getting her driver’s license.
We attempted a little photo shoot today to mark the occasion:
Stella’s first bath in the baby bathtub was a success! Before today, I had only given her sponge baths. Since her umbilicus fell off last week (ohmahgod my baby is growing up so quickly; she already lost her umbilical stump!), and the last of the scab is finally gone, I decided to give her a [...]

Stella is two weeks old today! We just got back from her two-week check up, and the doctor said she’s doing “great.” He noted that she is very strong, and that she is eating like a champ–she’s gained a pound in about 10 days. It is pretty obvious that she’s eating well–she’s getting a little [...]
We are so excited to announce the arrival of Stella Moxie King, born April 16th, 2008. She weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 15oz and 21 3/4 inches long. She has a head of long reddish-brown hair and big blue eyes like her daddy.
After an unexpected C-section both mommy and baby are doing fine.
Here is [...]
Larry is going to twitter the labor and birth of the baby.* Well, he’s going to try, although I have my doubts that when things get really heavy that he’ll want/remember to do it. (What I mean is, he’s supposed to be my Labor Coach–I need him to coach me, not type messages into the [...]
Ever since Larry and I moved into the townhouse, there has been something living in the vent above the microwave oven in the kitchen.
The first time I heard them, as my mom and I were unpacking the kitchen, I freaked out a bit. I like animals, but not wild ones living in my house. My [...]
